There are now cables on almost
every sea and ocean bed, the total
length of wire laid being nearly 49,
600 nautical miles. There are nine
cables connecting Europe with Amer
lea, the first that was laid dating from
1858. So great also, has the advance
been in the operative aspect of cable
telegraphy, that practically no more
difficulty is felt in repairing subma-
rine lines than in attending to de-
ferts in those on land. 1t is sell
dom any serious arrangement of the
telegraphic cable takes place. When it
does, it is comparatively of short du-
ration.

The London Times states that a
scheme for the erection of bridge
over the English channel is in active
consideration among French capital
lists and engineers. The projected
bridge would be % miles long, rest
-ing-eb- piers of eenerete andsmasonry
100 feet long by 100 broad, placed at
intervals of $50 yards. The cause
way of the bridge would be 160 feet
above the sea leavel, to permit the
passage of ships, and would be 100
feet wide. The estimated cost is
5000. 100000. 1t appears that the
channel is not so deep as is generally
supposed. There are shadows out
from FolIIcstone not over 20 feet from
the surface, the depth from these
shadows to the shore on either side
varying from 100 to 16O feet.

The man who takes a newspaper
and doesn't pay for it will have to
go. The postal law now makes it
larceny to take newspaper from the
mail and refuse to pay for it. A
short time ago an Illinois publisher
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscrip-
tions and obtained judgment in each
case for full amount of the claim
Twenty-eight of the defendants made
affidavit that they owned no more
property than the law allowed them,
thus preventing attachments. Then
they, under the supreme court de-
cision and under the postal law, were
arrested for petty larceny and put
under bonds of $500 each. All hut
six gave bonds, but the six went to
Jail. NdShUille american.
